Product description

Color:Chocolate Stained Walnut

The gently curved profile of the Ola cabinet creates a dramatic home theater. It features substantial panels separated by curved, grey-tinted glass doors that appear to wrap around the cabinet's sides. The open center compartment includes an adjustable shelf for use with a speaker, media or additional components. Chocolate Stained Walnut.

I purchased this piece with some trepidation - I hadn't seen any reviews for this particular BDI item, I didn't know anybody who owned anything from BDI and I had never seen any of their furniture in stores. After thinking long and hard for months about this purchase (and searching in vain for anything remotely matching my needs elsewhere) I took the plunge and ordered. And I am so glad I did. The first thing you notice about this product before even opening the box is this thing is *heavy*! The next thing you might notice (and this is very minor, but speaks to the attention to detail) is that the tools included with the hardware are not your average throwaway allen keys: one sturdy good-sized allen key and one short, good quality screwdriver are included.Glass doors, MDF shelves and contoured glass center shelf are shipped installed so the only 'assembly' required is securing the short 'legs' - two main stainless steel legs and one smaller, inconspicuous wooden leg - all of which have recessed wheels and adjustable leveling feet that are adjusted through small holes in the main cabinet. The screwdriver is included in the event that adjustments are needed to the doors (mine did not require any adjustment.)The cabinet doors, in combination with high-gloss finish on the cabinet sides, have the appearance of being wrapped around the cabinet - a very nice touch. The glass doors are a good weight and the opening/closing action is very satisfying: slow closing hinges mean no damage or loud noise from closing the cabinets.The wood finish (veneer, of course) is exceptionally good - some nice texture in the grain, even stain and quality finish make this piece stand out. I went with stained walnut to complement my Noguchi coffee table and walnut Salk speakers and it really does just that: the chocolate stain adds depth to the color so the piece complements, not clashes.Ventilation in the cabinets is very good - large openings in the bottom and slats in the shelves (cabinets only: the center glass shelf is solid) allow for decent airflow. My PS3 does get a little warm, but not so much that the emergency fan kicks in or the unit shuts down. I may find myself ordering a fan kit in future.Would I buy it again or recommend to a friend? Absolutely, without any hesitation...

The cabinet looks great and whoever designed it actually thought about the intended use (AV equipment). The ventilation is great, it is very easy to access the back of the equipment to plug in wires, it also has handy wheels to left you move it along with a lockout on them to stop them moving when you don't want. I have installed a fairly large HTPC and a Denon 4520 receiver and both fit nicely and there is still room for more. The remotes work well through the glass doors. In my opinion it looks very clean and visually appealing, if you are happy with the appearance I would definitely recommend this cabinet.

This stand is the perfect companion for our new 75" Sony screen, perfect height for viewing and width for the tv. The stand comes 90% assembled and goes together easily with good fit and finish, solidly but. The white was preferable in our contemporary room and the back glass of the stand was a perfect compliment to the black of the screen. Another good feature is the built in ability to level the stand. Good ventilation. Remote signal goes through glass. Security strap is nice to have. Hides wires and cables well.

Excellent packaging and fully assembled. It took two of us less than 30 minutes to have everything in place. Delivery was a little stressful, but it was delivered by a third party after a series of calls. This product is awesome. I am very satisfied with the purchase.
